What is it with Oklahoma and earthquakes here lately?
Noticed today that a 3.6 earthquake had an epicenter near Kendrick, OK on Saturday. That is roughly midway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Maybe its all those giant underground caverns once filled with oil collapsing into the underworld.
Oklahoma has hundreds every year and probably always has. Not the big destructive ones that some have but we have a very active area. I'm not a seismologist, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn, but my swag is hundreds of small ones keep ONE BIG one from happening. Minor shifts instead a plates building up to enormous energy and releasing it all at once.

I have often wondered about that. I know nothing about the process of extracting oil from the ground. Do they leave voids in the ground or do those spaces immediately fill with water?
